Got 'em installed at Casa De Cadillac in Sherman Oaks last week. Sorry for the crappy pictures, didn't have time to wash it and it's a really overcast day...but I figured you guys would wanna see 'em anyway.

I'm glad I went with the classic verticle grille....EVERYBODY gets the mesh...I like to stand apart, ya know?

So when the hell does a programmer come out...pappa needs some more horsepower!!!

I'm not sure about the mileage....but it sure sounds good. Throaty and deeper, plus I can definately notice some more power on the takeoff.

What is the material composition of the air tube? It looks like plastic. I don't like the seam running along the side. Looks kinda cheap. I do like the look of the air box, is the top aluminum?

Looks great. This is the first E&G Classic Vertical grille I have seen installed on a 2007. I think it looks really nice. Congratulations on the beautiful ESV. Enjoy it.

Thanks.

The tube is plastic, I have a Volant for my 07' and you can't even see the seam on mine :confused: :confused: the top is plastic/composite with a carbon fiber look to it.

I called E&G direct and asked where I should order the grille from and they recommended Casa De Cadillac dealership in my area as they carry & install a lot of aftermarket accessories.

I'm not disappointed in the way the Volant looks....WAY better than any K&N. I had a Air Raid on my Yukon 2 years back and this one looks a lot cleaner and more updated.

Do you notice any difference with the Volant installed?

HP? Torque? MPG?

Big difference on take off..sounds better. Haven't checked the MPG yet...will keep you posted.

BTW- Chopper is such a great F'n movie.

I just installed the VOlant in my truck today. I think it's a great improvement. The sound is awesome when really opening it up on the freeway. Installation was really easy, I did it by myself in about half an hour using only a flathead screw driver.

Yeah, I was thinking of doing the exhaust but once I got the Volant installed, I thought it sounded good enough....don't want it any louder now.

Thanks for the replys.

Do you guys have a good source for the volant?

(Good source meaning best price.)

And yes... Chopper was great, wasn't it? Eric Bana did one hell of a job.

Call them up...I just tried the website and it wouldn't give an exact price...just a "starting at" general price range. I think I paid just over $300.

The only thing I don't like the E&G front grill is that your truck looks like 2006 Platium version when you look at the front.

I had my Volant installed two months ago. Runs great, 12 to 13 MPG around the city.

Man, why you gotta burst my bubble, kid?

I still ike it tho.....I just didn't like the deep set mesh on the stock grille.

$285.00 from Racers Dreams on E-Bay, and when I got mine there was no S&H charges. :):thumbsup:
